Israeli airlines plan to resume Dubai flights after flydubai incident

Israel’s three largest airlines say they plan to resume flights to Dubai after an incident that Israeli officials described as an apparent attempt to crash a flydubai flight to Tel Aviv the day before. Reuters reports that El Al, Israir and Arkia have asked security authorities for permission to restart UAE services. El Al is targeting at least two daily flights starting in November, subject to approvals. Israir wants up to 10 weekly flights, while Arkia says it will resume as soon as operational and logistical readiness allows, emphasizing competition and choice for Israeli travelers. A senior security official said talks with Emirati counterparts are ongoing. UAE travel was suspended at the start of late-February Iran-war tensions.
